Hi all,

First let me say I'm extremely happy with Davical, syncing 2 Macbooks
and 2 iPhones and keeping the family plans under control. Great piece
of software, thanks Andrew and contributors !

As my calendar data is extremely valuable for me, I wrote a specific
backup script. It's dead simple but does its job and might help a few
other users.

Regards,
Charles

Hi Charles, nice script, but the -Fc isn't it already compressed ?
I was supposing that.

Next task, as if davical died (nobody hope so) It also valuable to have a backup
in ical format

Using curl or wget with the authentification
Not yet writed :-)

Hi Bruno,

you are right, "-Fc" does compress, but gzip can do better over it.

I wrote another quick script to backup from the client :
